AV for Server 2008?

We just installed a new Dell rack server running Server 2008. Who makes decent Anti Virus software for this setup? TIA

Clam AntiVirus is very nice, plus its free. I installed ClamAV on our HP server at work, and it runs very good, and uses far less memory than McAfee's commercial product, which we ran before. I also run it on my firewall, gets rid of the bad stuff before it even makes it to my network .

Has Clam added background protection yet? I thought it was only a manual scanner.

OK, thanks, I'll check it out. (I just want to stay away from Norton!)

Symantec Corporate (which is what you would have to buy to run on Server 2k8) actually is not bad at all.
